1 29th Annual Synod Assembly June 3 5, 2016 Grand Sierra Resort, Reno We Are Church Together Assembly Recap The 29th annual Sierra Pacific Synod Assembly was called into session by Bishop Mark Holmerud at 1 pm on Friday, June 3 at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada. ELCA Presiding Bishop, The Rev. Elizabeth Eaton joined us as the ELCA Churchwide Representative and keynote speaker. Luke Hanson, YAGM Rwanda Alum (currently Development Officer for Concordia University, St Paul) was our Bible Study Leader. Some highlights of our time together are pictured below: Bishop Mark Holmerud opens the Assembly. ELCA Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton invited us to participate in the ELCA process Forward Together in Christ. To participate in this process, download the toolkit, watch a video with Bishop Eaton discussing this process and learn more online. Luke Hanson shared with us his experience as a Young Adult in Global Mission in Rwanda. Using the story of the Ethiopian Eunuch, he shared that his faith was formed in a way different from any other during his time in Rwanda. He thought he was going to be Philip and teach, instead he was the Ethiopian, and received the Gospel in a new way then returned home rejoicing. Thank you Dennis Jones for your service as Synod Secretary
